A method of mounting a power semiconductor die on a substrate, a package for the die and a power supply including the package. The die has a first power terminal on a first surface thereof and a second power terminal on an opposing second surface thereof. The method including the steps of: (1) forming an electrically-conductive, mechanical bond between the first surface and a first location on the substrate, the mechanical bond electrically coupling the first power terminal to the substrate and (2) soldering an elongated electrically conductive strap to the second surface and a second location on the substrate, the conductive strap composed of a material having an electrical resistivity at most about 5.0×10 -8 ohm-meters (Ω-m) and forming a low impedance path between the second power terminal and the second location. |
